“Authentic knowledge of the God of mercy, the God of tender love,
is a constant and inexhaustible source of conversion...”

John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 13

“We realize that God, in showing us mercy,
calls upon us to become witnesses to mercy in today’s world.”

John Paul II, Aug 18, 2002


THEME ARTICLE:

“Do This In Memory of Me”

by Jim Murphy

 

      When we hear these words, we naturally associate them with Christ’s command to continue the Eucharistic celebration.  You and I are able to receive the Eucharist today because for 2,000 years, the Church has obeyed that command to continue the Eucharist “in memory” of Him.  Of course, “in memory” does not mean a fond recollection of something that is over and done, but rather an ongoing, living reality that is made present in our time and space when we gather in His name.

       I would suggest that, while the Eucharist is the ultimate response to “do this in memory of me,” this command must be lived out in the entire life of the Christian.  Read More...

The School of Healing Prayer that began in January had to find a larger facility because there were too many students and team members to fit in our building.   Read More.

 


Preparing for Lent
by Tammie Stevens

 

As I prepare for Lent this year, I am reflecting on the role of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ baptism and 40 days in the desert.

In Mark 1:8 John the Baptist says: “I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit.”  In the next verse Jesus is baptized by John and the Holy Spirit descends upon him and then drives him into the desert.  I wonder what the relationship is between Jesus being baptized by John and Jesus baptizing us in the Holy Spirit?  I wonder what connection there is between the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus at his baptism and the Holy Spirit driving him into the desert?   Read More...
